Saturday 8, January

I hung around Sliema strand while waiting for the 645 bus to Cirkewwa. It was a luminous morning, it was going to be another sunny, fine day. The bus left with a slight delay on the scheduled departure time… the bus driver made up for it keeping a heavy foot on the accelerator. The bus journey lasted 45 minutes and followed northwards the Maltese coastal line.
I decided to stop in Mielleha before getting the ferry to the Gozo island. I needed some information and according to the map, there was an Information Office there. The door of the Tourist office was open and the light was on but no one was there. “The office is closed!” someone said behind me. “Is it really?” I replied surprised turning to the voice that just spoke to me. An old man with a British accent smiled at me “Can I help you?”.
